Who We Are

WHO WE ARe

Established by Hope In Our City, Mend was created to bring opportunity to Refugee women and men living in Denver, Colorado. Not only for the opportunity of employment in hopes of ending the cycle of poverty, but the opportunity to be creative and to have a place to express that. We believe that having the chance to be creative and make something with our hands gives a strong sense of accomplishment and empowerment to individuals. Seeing beauty that comes from our creations helps to see the beauty inside all of us.

Mend creates high quality, custom sewn home decor. 100% of net profits are re-invested back into Hope In Our City to holistically foster healthy community in refugee neighborhoods.
